Instant Pot Jasmine Rice (Brown + White)

Instant Pot Jasmine Rice (Brown + White) – how to make jasmine rice in your Instant Pot (set it and forget it!)

I love cooking rice in my Instant Pot because I can literally just throw rice and water in the pot, press start and walk away!

I am a big fan of jasmine rice (along with sprouted rice and wild rice).  I don’t know what it is about it, but it is always a hit! I love prepping some on Sunday to have as a meal add-in throughout the week!

Instant Pot Rice-to-Water Ratio:

According to the official Instant Pot website and their Guide to Cooking Rice in the Instant Pot, you should really always be able to use a 1 to 1 ratio of rice to water.  That being said, I really have come to like using 1 cup rice with about 1 1/4 cup water just because I prefer my rice more on the al dente side.  In other words, I like my rice just perfectly cooked and not too fluffy and mushy.  So of course, if you do like your rice like that just pull back on the water amount!

Why do I have to rinse the rice

You need to rinse it because it helps remove some of the starch that will otherwise soak up water.  If you skip the rinsing part, the recipe might be thrown off and you may not have enough water to correctly cook your rice!  If you skip rinsing it, add in an extra Tablespoon or two of water.

How to Make Jasmine Rice in you Instant Pot:

1. Measure out rice and rinse with water.
2. Add drained rice to Instant Pot along with measured water.
3. Set Instant Pot to Seal and then manually enter cooking time (per recipe card below).
4. Once Instant Pot is done cooking, allow it to naturally release for 10 minutes.

Notes

• This recipe was developed in a 6qt Instant Pot Duo; always follow manufacturer’s instructions when operating your Instant Pot.
• If you want your rice more chewy and not as cooked, reduce cooking time by 2 minutes.
• If you want your rice very cooked and fluffy, cook for an additional 2 minutes and add an additional 1/8 cup water.
